Finally... some rain!

Maybe we'll see a little flow increase out there on the big river! At the very least the grass is in good shape for a couple days as it is coming down pretty good here in the metro right now.

I hope you send some this way James. The flow on pool 8 is so slow the algae is headed up river

Imagine that.......herb is complaining

There's standing water in the open fields at the elementary school by my house. That usually bodes well for the rainfall amounts. If they got anything like that north of the metro, the flow should pick up over the next couple days.

Bring on the rain . For some reason I seem to have pretty good luck on the Fall walleyes when we have high water in Oct and Nov .

Keep singing rain dances up North or Redwing

She is good and muddy in Hastings. You can tell it's rainwater. And you can see the current diverting at the trestle.

We got just shy of 3 inches in about an hour and a half. Most of it soaked in. Just don't need anymore in the river down here, thank you.

we only had an inch "inland." looks like the big river came up a few inches overnight on p18.
